Trump displays Tesla at White House to support Musk
President Trump showcased a new Tesla Model S on the White House driveway, expressing support for Elon Musk amid challenges for the electric vehicle company. Trump plans to purchase the car for about $80,000 to boost Tesla's sales. This event marks a unique display of loyalty from Trump to Musk, who has been influential in his administration. Tesla's stock rose nearly 4% following Trump's announcement, despite a significant decline since January.
